The only way to stand strong against the devil is the humbling habit of submission.

Those who wish to be leaders in God’s house must serve with no view to personal gain.

Affliction in the life of the Christian can bring joy when we understand that it’s part of what it means to belong to Jesus and that he is using it to make us more like him.

The time spent waiting for Jesus’ return should be spent learning to subdue your selfishness and serving others whether they be inside the church or out.

All Christians should be able to explain why they are confident that heaven awaits them by telling people what Jesus has done for them.

Peace in life (and in marriage!) is found not in serving yourself, but surrendering to God.

Entrusting yourself to God requires submitting yourself to others including those who would mistreat you because that’s what Jesus did.

As those who have been rescued from judgment and assured of our eternal inheritance, we should treat outsiders with compassion, not malice.

Being a child of God means walking in this world with sacrificial love, the way the Son of God did while he was on earth.

The end of the Christian life is a heavenly inheritance and the road to that goal is one of purification through trials.

When the Lord makes you his own, you become and exile in this world.
